Childhood autism rating scale (CARS) was used for evaluation of therapeutic effects.
RESULTSAfter 2 therapeutic courses (240 sessions), the markedly effective rate was 97.1% in the JIN's 3-needling group and 64.7% in the behavior intervention group; there was asignificant difference the therapeutic effect between the two groups (P<0.01); after the first course (first 120 session) and the second course (later 120 sessions), there was a very significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001); and there were significant differences before and after treatment in the courses in the two groups (P<0.01).
